About me
West Yorkshire PhotographerEst. 2014
Hey, I'm Laura
Proud owner of Lumiere Photographic
Lumiere Photographic is a small independent business, founded on a love of photography, specialising in producing high quality images across a range of photographic avenues.
I initially started out in the world of photography shooting website images for a high-street fashion retailer, but the lack of creativity sent me mad. So I packed in my job, set off travelling around Europe in a motorhome for 6 months, and when I came back, Lumiere was born.
Starting my business in 2014 and getting the keys to my studio in 2018, it’s been one hell of a ride! I adore that I get to call this my job and I’m so lucky to work with so many incredible clients.
I now specialise in Weddings, Newborn and Boudoir, but I will also take on additional commissions for pet portraits, maternity session, cake smashes and even commercial work.
When I’m not taking pictures, editing, social media-ing etc, I’m usually with this absolute babe. My dog, my girl, my bestie…Willow.
We alternate between walks up on Ilkley moor and snuggling on the sofa and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Much like Willow, I spend my time mainly thinking about food. I’ve always been a total foodie and nothing makes me happier than planning my next meal! Takeaway pizza and a cold beer or a tasting menu with a top notch bottle of Malbec… I’m happy either way!
I love being outdoors. Summer is my favourite month. I love being warm.
I now actually enjoy going to the gym and find myself their most mornings. If I don’t go before 8am it’s not going to happen that day!
I love relaxing on the sofa, a good film or a top tv series are my happy place (with Willow by my side of course). Ted Lasso & Schitts Creek are some of my top recent watches – but The O.C will always have my heart.
Travel is a huge passion of mine. I spent a month volunteering in South Africa at a Game Reserve where I got to help raise and bottle feed a white lion cub. I spent 6 months travelling Europe in a motorhome and also did the California coast… in a mustang no less! My sister and I are now visiting a different Greek island each year and I love exploring the Lake District.
Music has always played a huge part in my life. I’m physically allergic to silence and will constantly have music or podcasts on wherever I can.
I like to think my music taste is pretty broad. I was brought up listening to my dads rock, starkly contrasted with mums Enya and Beautiful South.
I love all music but I have a particular soft spot for country.
I love live music and have seen pretty much all of my favourite bands/artists live.
